Location
Set in a central position within this lovely village in the Low Weald area of East Sussex. Hellingly is a small village which lies to the east of the A267, between Eastbourne and Heathfield - just to the north of the confluence of the Cuckmere and Bull rivers. The origins of the village evolved around the construction of St Peter and St Paul's church (Grade I listed) in the late twelfth century and developed over the ensuing centuries. Importantly, the village has not expanded greatly over time thus retaining its original charm and character.

The village has a primary school which is within a short walk of the house and there are active cricket and rugby clubs at the recreation ground in Lower Horsebridge which is under a mile away. From the outskirts of the village is also access to the popular Cuckoo Trail, a renowned trail which provides scenic and traffic free walking and cycling along the former railway line from Heathfield to Eastbourne Park.

Hellingly is situated just to the east of the A22 about 7 miles south of Heathfield and 1.5 miles from Hailsham - both towns which offers excellent services and amenities including supermarkets, banks, recreational facilities, primary and secondary schools and a good variety of independent shops and restaurants. Eastbourne and Lewes are approximately 9 miles and 12 miles respectively.

There is a local bus service and main line train services from Polegate (5 miles) and Berwick (6 miles) connecting to London Bridge and London Victoria.
